JEE Advanced 2023 — Paper 2 — Question 41
A cylindrical furnace has height and diameter (D) both 1 m . It is maintained at temperature 360 K . The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure and its temperature becomes . The hot air with density rises up a vertical chimney of diameter and height above the furnace and exits the chimney (see the figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density , pressure and temperature enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations in and T inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects. [Given: The acceleration due to gravity and ]
Considering the air flow to be streamline, the steady mass flow rate of air exiting the chimney is .
